I'm still lurking about-don't get here as often as I would like too. It was an insane St patrick's day weekend and I'm been busy with work and kids. Hopefully I can get on here more ioften. Use to get on everyday-now I'm lucky if I can finish my facebook stuff.

Unavoidably Detained by the World

"Irishness is not primary a question of birth or blood or language; it is the condition on being involved in the Irish situation, and usually of being mauled by it."-Conor Cruise O'Brien

Yeah, I'm still lurking also. Been very busy working on my 2nd book (writing, not reading HAHA). Oh, and the day job too. That keeps me chained for 8 hours. Then there is Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. Can't forget about those time suckers

I bet heartsong is right ( Hi heartsong, are you watching Voyage?) and the couple of days of not being able to log on can break the habit. Speaking of habits, I am totally hooked on Pinterest. I pinned Celtic Radio to my Celtic Thunder board.

It cotton time here in the Deep South. I am been working with cotton growers for the 2012 cotton crop. I do sneak in for a peak to see what is going on. Oh, yes! I have been taking up a lot of time with grandkids. I take them to school each morning. Now that is a blessing.

I've been off of the site for some time and was generally a quiet one before anyways. Just sitting here at the computer this morning and decided to return and check things out. I've been working hard on my website and enjoying the great outdoors.

I'm here too, just not as vocal as I used to be. I will admit to spending more time than I should on Twitter and am working 2 jobs, but I still pop in from time to time to see what you're all up to. I'll never truly leave this wonderful family!

It is what gets me through the day, and especially the night.' -- A Knight's Tale "I talk to you as I talk to my own soul...and, Sassenach,” he whispered, “your face is my heart.” -- Jamie Fraser, "Dragonfly In Amber" by Diana Gabaldon @Dremnghrt on Twitter, Dreamnghrt on tumblr - come say Hi!

I'm here too, just kinda ran outta thing to say at the moment. Trying to find a decent program to learn Irish. Have written lesons need help on pronuciation. Posibly someone to practice with.......... other that that just staying busy with life.

There have been some changes that have contributed. The politics forum was moved to its own site with a link from here. Medieval Kingdom has had some resets. An active member has excluded herself. Other active members have ostensibly become busy with life.

Personally, I have been busy with life and trying to survive in this economy.

Dear Lord, lest I continue in my complacent ways, help me to remember that someone died for me today. And if there be war, help me to remember to ask and to answer "am I worth dying for?" - Eleanor Roosevelt

The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools.-- Herbert Spencer, English Philosopher (1820-1903)
